True Facts: Mussels That Catch Fish

Yeah, nature is metal. Some species of mussels snatch up a fish for their offspring to parasitize, while others arrange their eggs and/or larva into a sort of pod that's shaped like something a fish would want to eat, which achieves the same purpose. There's no one better to explain this weirdness than Ze Frank in his True Facts series. I mean, admit it, you wouldn't be exploring the reproductive habits of a mussel if it were from any other source. This video has a one-minute embedded ad at 4:30.
